Review: DON'T BURY ME by Nick Younker
Author Nick Younker packs so much into this short story: horror; science; political philosophy; history; child neglect; governmental posturing; familial love; voluntary sacrifice; medical marijuana; the supernatural. He could have extended all this to novel-length, but framing it as a short story just makes the impact much more powerful. If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, apparently so is the road to pandemic. Our protagonist spends the story's duration berating himself, but no one can fault his dedication, strength of love, and personal sacrifice to his cause. Spine-tingling, grief-inspiring, heartwrenching, heartwarming, and inspiring, all in one story. Triumph of the human spirit, indeed.
